Cobrathon
I can't remember how I got here, probably from something that our resident G.I. Joe fan, Rid, linked to. But scroll down to the bottom of the page to find the link to the commercial in question.
Pretty cool, no?
M.U.S.C.L.E. commercial

I know this has happened to me before. I can't remember what I was told what to do for it, though...

Rid! You knew where to find the commercials and didn't tell us!
ShAME on YOU!
To think most of us have only seen the "MUSCLE Invasion Update" commercial!
How many commercials are there? What pages are they on?
Etc, ect, ect...

Our glorious Milky Way is a tiny, infinitesimal speck of sand in this vast, incomprehensible universe. And somewhere in that Milky Way is our own solar system, less than one billionth of that speck of sand that is the Milky Way. And then there is our planet Earth, one hundred trillionth of that one billionth of that one speck of sand. And on this planet Earth there is DEV-0, an insignificant blemish with a lifespan too short to measure when placed in infinite time.
And you are here, with them, as so many specks of sand.

I couldn't find the commercials on a page myself, so I had to "hack" the location to find them. Here are all the ones I found:How many commercials are there? What pages are they on?

X-E has one of the commercials, the one labeled just as 'Muscle.'
However, if you view all three, it seems like that one would be the second, as it's an 'Update.'
I wonder if the guy could encode those with better picture quality, etc?

I don't think its a matter of the encoding, I think its his tapes. Considering the age, alot of his commercials are in great condition, and adversely, some are pretty bad.I wonder if the guy could encode those with better picture quality, etc?

Nice piece of nostalga.
Has any one played the commercials and paused them in mid frame.
Check out Tortle's second link,just as the woman starts to screem and
the Muscles appear at the top and bottom of the screen,check out the top
mid left.
Can anyone tell me who is the figure with both arms streched way up is,wearing
a helmet with a point on it .Now I'm confused cause I've never seen it before.
.Anyone?

'On Sale' or 'For Sale'. It's really the same thing! The word, 'Sale' means YOU CAN BUY IT,
not that it is discounted. We as consumers are conditioned to think"On Sale"means it's cheaper.

Those are posed set kinkeshi (or maybe test shot muscles). I have the kinkeshi version, they aren't too hard to get. But that does make for good conversation. I wonder if the ones in the commercials are MUSCLE or kinkeshi. If they are MUSCLE, there should be plenty of super rares floating around out there.Nice piece of nostalga.

"YES"
I'm not crazy and seeing things.To make sure I paused the comercial
and pressed Print Screen Sys.and copied it to Bitmap and transfered it to
jpeg.I'll post the pic latter.
I did come across the idea they may have been Kinkeshi,but my research on
them is fundamental,but nice figures though,not imprinted on my mind yet.
I also thought that they might of been prototypes,when the new toyline was
emerging and nothing was set in stone yet.And yes Super Rare did cross my mind,
but I wasn't about to cry wolf without some help to determine what some of them
were.Heres to hoping that they were made in US M.U.S.C.L.E.
The chase is on.But of to work I go now.

Every time I see those commercials, I always think the pink color of the figures is Kinkeshish.

Is it just me, or is the Purple that is shown actually 'grape?'
It doesn't look like the dark purple I know, and I'm sure that the Caped Ashura didn't come with the board game.
Also, GreenMeanie, I'm talking about the pixilation on the videos, and the small size therof. Higher resolution would make the file size go up, but also make the size at which pixilation occurs be much higher.
